what do you know about old mobile phones

I'm a long time lurker on these forums and never registered an account, but this has a very unconspiratorial explanation. From '03-'05 I worked
for at&t in a project group that implemented the old hardware buybacks. We were offering service credits of 10-25 dollars for old phones when
customers bought new ones. Its a self-funding method subsidizing new phone sales. Non-functional handsets were sold to recyclers literally by the
pound and functional hardware was sold to dealers who would do a refurb(batteries almost always needed to be replaced) and resell them in south
america and africa. The program was basically a wash for at&t with the benefit of reducing the cost to customers when they bought new phones(which
typically also means a contract renewal).

I love a good conspiracy, but here the answer is pretty straightforward. Everyone buying old cellphones is just reselling them in emerging markets at
a profit. There are all sorts of legitimate conspiracies within the communications industry, this just isn't one of them.

I know for a fact they keep all of the text messages, the mayor of Detroit got busted, and they had all his text messages. I can't recall the name of
company but it's one that has thing in sky.
They would not release all of info to public, some or most was sexual in nature, and he is married, but this was not his wife.

Watch what you text if you have something to hide because they got it all down and dirty.

Wait this Mayor in Detroit is going to get about 25yrs., plus they got daddy, and then the murder thing. Feds on case now, he thought City money, was
his money, mo money, mo money.
